Page Redirect after X seconds wait using JavaScript

Question

I need to redirect to specific url after 5 seconds after putting an error message. First i have used Javascript as below.

document.ready(window.setTimeout(location.href = "https://www.google.co.in",5000)); 

But it is not waiting for 5 seconds. Than I searched the issue in google than come to know that "document.ready()" is invoked when document is loaded at DOM, not at web browser.

Than i have used window.load() function of jQuery but still i am not getting what i want.

$(window).load(function() {                window.setTimeout(window.location.href = "https://www.google.co.in",5000);             }); 

Can anyone please let me know how exactly i need to do to wait for 5 seconds.

Answer 1

It looks you are almost there. Try:

if(error == true){      // Your application has indicated there's an error     window.setTimeout(function(){          // Move to a new location or you can do something else         window.location.href = "https://www.google.co.in";      }, 5000);  } 

Answer 2

You actually need to pass a function inside the window.setTimeout() which you want to execute after 5000 milliseconds, like this:

$(document).ready(function () {     // Handler for .ready() called.     window.setTimeout(function () {         location.href = "https://www.google.co.in";     }, 5000); });
